McBirdy's puppies born on 4/9/2009: which team ! (16 - 11 boys and 5 girls)

[McBIRDY - Jean DUHANT]

Parents are:
Jonola Dr. Doolittle (Lochfrae Ralph Lauren x Jonola Bellestar) x Ch. Frisbee of McBirdy (Sh.Ch. Sumaric Shadow of Mr.Jingles x Int. B. Ch. Cheyenn of McBirdy)

At the size of the belly of Frisbee, we expect a large extent, but not so!
The weight of the first puppies (250 to 350 grams) showed us however that there would be more than expected.
Frisbee Mom did a good job.
The first puppy was born on 4/9/09 at 12.30 hrs, and then at regular intervals, and ends on 5/9/09 at 2 hrs in the morning.
Everything went very smoothly and Frisbee was calm and attentive to her babies.
The dairy operates at full capacity, but it is clear that we'll have to help Frisbee with bottles for feeding this large band !

Have recently signed up to Ex/Setters and have just come across this amasing litter of your wonderful Irish. They must be coming up to a month old how are you all feeling now. Lots of work on your hands eh. And how's mum doing? Spain sadly don't seem to have the shows that other parts of Europe have I used to show my two when we live in England and I do miss it. Now our two have the fun out on the hills and help one of our local Spanish neighbor to flush out the rabbits and then the partridges when in season. Never been trained but it seems to be so natural for them.
